I have 2 identical bullets in every way and hold them exactly 1 meter above the ground in a controlled environment. I fire one bullet from a gun in a horizontal direction. The exact moment that the bullet leaves the guns barrel i drop the other bullet. Which bullet hits the ground first? Basically, does forward propulsion on objects counteract against gravity in any way?
 
No, forward movement does not affect the rate at which an object drops... gravity pulls it down at a constant rate.
